Arrow Please post your ride height...

Hi, I just had the Eibach Pro Kit installed two days ago. I just wanted to see the average lowering amount everyones getting with the kit. If possible, those of you that have the kit; could you please measure the height from the ground to the top of the wheel well / fender. That would be most appreciated, thanks in advance.

My ride height appears to be 26" in the front and "26.9" in the rear. Images below.

the car will settle over the next week or two. worse case scenario...you can change the spring pads to make the necessary fine tuning height adjustments.

here are my cars measurements with the eibach pro-kit... (no change in spring pads).

Andrew, I love your white xfire! Seems your ride is about one inch lower than mine. But, I see you have Contis, I have Pilot Sports; does that make a difference. I've had the springs on for 1 week exactly, they should be settled by now. Ride height aside, the handling is so much better than before. Thanks for posting the pics.

p.s. Sorry but I used my Treo camera.

thanks!

the tires will not make any ride height difference...the overall sizing is the same. but...i still think your car will settle with more time.

i'm still not happy though. i'm not tucking rim. i might cut out all the sheet metal and redo all the brackets to get it down another 2" or so. might do it over the winter.

yeah, bags rule. you can have a super soft caddy ride, or a stiffer more responsive ride.
